INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
2 tablespoons Crushed Pistachios
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillet dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Press the salmon fillet into the crushed pistachios to form an even crust on the top side.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, crust side down, for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Optionally, finish in the oven for 2 more minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus, garnish with lemon zest and an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.
